Financial Strength Grading

An ICRA Financial Strength Grading is a symbolic indicator of ICRA's current opinion on the relative financial profile of the shipbuilding company concerned. An ICRA Financial Strength Grading is not a comment on any specific debt servicing capability of the shipbuilder.

The focus of Financial Strength Grading exercise is on evaluating the business and financial risks of the concerned ship building company. ICRA forms an opinion on a shipbuilder's business risk by analysing, among other factors, its operating environment, delivering capabilities of its shipyard, scalability (in relation to business plans), and management and systems. Financial risk is assessed through an evaluation of factors including the shipbuilder's liquidity position, profitability, coverage and capitalisation profile.
